Lignin is a structural bio-polymer which contributes to the rigidity of plants. While bioethanol is not a drop-in fuel, the residual lignin can be converted to a drop-in fuel via thermal treatments such as gasification or solvolysis. Initiatives such as the LEO Coalition are an important catalyst in this process.
